More Justbox and a long awaited (by me) return:

Cheeky Smile by Jusbox - this has a whole lot of MoLeCuLeS in the pyramid, but sure does smell like amber and wood - more wood at the start more sweet amber at the end. At the very end it almost gives some bodily odour - not too strong though. It's pretty pleasant, but I wouldn't say it's something awfully special.

Green Bubble by Jusbox - full disclosure - I have no clue what cannabis smells like - but this fragrance is indeed green and woody - more green at the start, more woody and labdanum (even though not many people vote for it as being noticeable, maybe I have a sensitivity for it...) at the middle and somewhat the same but sweeter at the very bottom (I'd presume it's amber and the sweeter hypostasis of patchouli). A very nice thing.

14Hour Dream by Jusbox - actually, about sweet hypostasis of patchouli - here it is with quite a lot of very pleasant vanilla - there are some spices, but they are definitely overshadowed by it. A the bottom there's some bitterness coming out, adding some depth to it, but I'm not sure what could it be - maybe guaiac wood.

Black Powder by Jusbox - this one is mostly tobacco with some promise of suede/leather. The fruits aren't very noticeable but they (and I'm pretty sure the pepper too) are giving it a lot of freshness in the background. An interesting thing.

Feather Supreme by Jusbox - a surprising occurrence - I actually hear the top of the pyramid very well - the beginning is very fruity and there's definitely apple juice in it - then tuberose comes out and it's pretty fresh but not overtly green or sweet. Really enjoyed that one, maybe didn't wait enough for the base to come out though.

Night Flow by Jusbox - so this one is supposed to be raspberry leather, but for me it's mostly just leather. Pretty soft leather and there's definitely some sweetness to it but I wouldn't guess raspberry if I didn't already know that. I might be imagining some saffron there though, surprisingly.

Megamare by Orto Parisi - finally worn this sea monster on my own skin and I still don't get it. Where's the giant rotten squid washed up on the beach a lot of people are complaining about? This is mostly very salty sea wood dried out on the cold northern shore and some slight slight sweetness at the end which is almost reminiscent of Seminalis. And speaking of Seminalis, I'm getting a feeling all Orto Parisi perfumes have crazy longevity - half the day + thought the shower + till the morning. Anyway, loved it, would very much like to get a decant at some point.

Chypress Eau de Toilette by Floris, a simple, but magnificent fragrance. Marketed as a for her scent, Chypress still dons enough coolness to be considered unisex. It sits at $135.00 for 100ml on the Floris London website. The notes are as follows:

Top: Bergamot, Lemon, Orange Flower, Neroli

Middle: Jasmine, Rose, Osmanthus, Ylang Ylang

Base: Amber, Vanilla, Musk, Patchouli

Upon first meeting Chypress myself, in a 2ml decant, I dreamt up an entirely different experience for it then opposed to how I experience it now. Perhaps this is because I was sampling Philosykos EDP on my left wrist at the same time. My first impression was wow, this smells familiar, freakily familiar. I don’t mean that it’s similar to another fragrance, however some reviews on Fragrantica share the opinion that it’s parallel to Narciso Rodriguez For Her. Chypress, to me, smelled like a familiar person or a distant family member who is convinced she changed your diapers, but you don’t recall ever meeting. It felt like a warm fur, a hand-me-down, and protection lent by a stranger. A guardian angel pinching your cheeks as you sit upon wooden chairs and drown in her overcoat.  My first handshake with Chypress was everything that a kid who had experienced the cold had dreamed of growing up to be. 

It took me ten days of testing different fragrances (Sirens & Sailors by Jusbox and Baruti’s I’m Winter) then I purchased a full size of Chypress. Among receiving it in the mail, I met notes in this perfume that I had not detected previously. The citrusy top notes projected quite strong, and I now understood why many regard this fragrance as a scent for warmer weather. It was more than the original, simple warmness I enjoyed so much. The full size Chypress was no longer just that familiar family member, she was now the mom friend. She no longer appeals to just a Cancer or Aquarius Moon, but a jam-packed 4th house with venusian qualities. 

In order to fully immerse you in this perfume, I am going to walk you through its stages. Because although this does check all the boxes for a classic Chypre, it is in no way linear. Today is a particularly humid day and Chypress, specifically the top notes, performs much differently depending on the weather.

On a day where the air is drier, colder and less dense, Chypress starts off with an extremely sweet citrus. A mandarin lays in a bed of flowers. Sometimes, memories of a lemon pastry trickle into the air. This, another reminder of my childhood. It does not read as fresh, but almost fizzy. The molecules do not strive to quench, instead they are excited, skating around on skin. They do not dribble down your hands after crushing fruit, they spread like a powdery pollen. 

On a day where the air is wet and dense like today, the citrus is there, but dirty. Selena Gomez’s dress from the Fetish music video comes to mind. There is dampness in this expression of the fragrance. This mandarin smells riper and the flowers bloomed weeks ago. It is by no means sticky sweet, fresh, or clean in this stage, but lived in. It’s like when you first put on makeup and it needs to set. 

Now, when it comes to the middle notes, I do think these perform similarly in warm or cool, dry or humid, shine or rain. This is the floral stage of Chypress and it reads jammy to me. This is not the strawberry jam from your cute, local diner either. This is the results of your foraging, the blossoms and stems that line your wooden basket. I do not smell much of rose here, I almost forgot it was a part of the notes. 

Finally, the base notes, and my favorite part of this fragrance. The base notes of amber, vanilla, musk, and patchouli are not linear in anyway. The earthy patchouli comes first, reminding me of damp topsoil, although not fecal or pungent in that way. Here is where Chypress becomes a hug, reminiscent of the Black Sun and the womb. Patchouli swirls into drops of amber in an animalic musk. It is an earthworm’s journey through a dark forest after rain. The final stage of Chypress is soapy, a temperate bubble bath and balmy skin. I only recently started to notice this expression because of how similar it smells to my mom whose favorite fragrance is Amazing Grace by Philosophy. This is forest couture in the best possible way. 

Final thoughts:

Although I am a novice in the fragrance world, I do think that Chypress objectively is a great wear.  When it comes to projectivity, I believe a foot radius would be accurate. The longevity of course depends on the climate. In humid climates it lasts about 6-8 hours and drier climate 4-6 hours. I don't mind re-applying, It is clear from the photos above that I have created a large dent in the bottle. I’ve had Chypress for approximately 22 days and apply it morning, afternoon, and night. On the surface it may look like a simple fragrance, but underneath the canopy leaves and among moss covered stone, there is a stunning complexity that with time will show itself. 

Final Rating: 4/5

Astrology Placements this fragrance reminds me of:

Cancer and Aquarius Moon

Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus Venus

In questa giornata che sa di estate che non vuol finire arriva l'eco lontano di una Bossa Nova. Da Copacabana rimbalza il canto morbido sussurrato di Jobim che ispira l'ultima creazione olfatto-musicale di Jusbox Perfumes.

Carioca Heart, creata da Julien Rasquinet, ondeggia tra nostalgia e gioia di vivere in un'armonia olfattiva che rammenta suoni e colori carioca. Godibili in piena libertà e allegria gli aromi tropical fruttati di mango, ananas, limone, la gentilezza della peonia sfumata nell'ardore di rhum e legno di sandalo, infine il richiamo magnetico all'ascolto con la dolcezza ambrata sensuale di vaniglia e labdano.

Green Bubble (eau de parfum) Jusbox Nose: Julien Rasquinet

Playlist

Woody amber

An earthly paradise, ruled by the original sin: Love. Mankind, folk culture and every day slow living create Jamaica and are Jamaica’s creation at the same time. Jamaica: the land of Springs.  In this Eden, BPM becomes rarefied and the bass’ line lay down the law to guitar. Pure ideals are so powerful to go beyond the borders of this isle. Reggae descends on earth: one music and one culture. 

Reggae is the doctrine of Jamaica’s kingdom; in its immaculate religiousness, essence and beauty become faith. In the Green Bubble fragrance, the rhythm is composed by the serenity of a shining sun, the Jamaican people’s strength and creativity, and the vegetation, which reigns undisputed in this land of wood and water. A flawless oasis where the euphoria rising from vegetation’s and smoky woods’ scent meets the spirituality of incense. Julien Rasquinet gives shape to Eden, creating a perfect balance between woody accords with sharp notes of absinthe and aromatic hints of saffron and Indian hemp. Sensory ecstasy.

Top notes: Grapefruit, Marijuana, Absinthe Heart notes: Saffron, Honey, Cedarwood Base notes: Labdanum, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Dry amber

Visionary Eye di Jusbox Perfumes la mia recensione

Visionary Eye di Jusbox Perfumes la mia recensione

3 cose che rendono irresistibile, al mio naso e occhi, un profumo. Un profumiere che amo, una delle mie materie prime preferite in profumeria, e uno story telling accattivante. Nel caso di Visionary Eye di Jusbox Perfumes il profumiere è il grande e talentuoso Dominique Ropion,  e l’ingrediente star della creazione è una delle note che amo di più in profumeria.  Visionary Eye si ispira…

Finishing with Jusbox and suddenly returning to Molinard:

Suit of Lights by Jusbox - this one is so far the most basic and abstract from the whole brand - generic citruses and generic white flowers, still pleasant though.

Visionary Eye by Jusbox - very very powdery indeed and has some sharp flowery-ish notes - I'd say that's lavender and irises mostly provide the powder. Nice and fresh despite the powderiness.

Tubéreuse Vertigineuse by Molinard - this one is a little odd, because yeah, at the top it's very pleasant tuberose - not too bright, not too sweet, a little creamy, but with time it almost completely disappears and gets replaced with other flowers. (I oddly feel something else too, I'd say looking at the base that it's sandal, but I'm not sure.)

Vétiver by Molinard - well, this unsurprisingly gives vetiver - even with a little nuttiness at the start, added sourness from the citruses at the top and iris and lavender make it sound a bit like a classical male fragrance (in a good way - I mean Dior Homme).

Bel Air by Molinard - decided to try some classical Molinard fragrances, so here we go - a perfume with a pyramid longer than all our arms combined, from which the mimosa gives me a lot of powder and actually appears at the start, but then is mostly replaced with a whole pleasantly vintage bouquet. A nice thing.

Le Rêve Nirmala by Molinard - this thing could have as well been a "Good Girl" flanker - it's very sweet and very edible, almost crossing into tooth-rotting. For my taste the vanilla is a bit too bright (a bit less baked goods and little more artificial vanilla flavouring).

Nirmala by Molinard - wow, now we're talking. I'm not sure about its technical characteristics but from a blotter test it's better than both Al Rayhan and Mango Skin in regards to tropical fruits - they're so fresh and juicy here - the mango is the most noticeable. Citruses at the top and sweetness at the bottom are very well balanced. Loved this one.

Vents et Marées by Molinard - returned to this one and actually wore it (and yet again accidentally perfumed my mask - not even by putting it in the same pocket as the blotter this time - I just sprayed it directly like a big idiot) and on me the aquatic aspects waved me goodbye - it was fruits all the way - mostly tangerines (clementines? is there a bloody difference, will anyone answer me?) but there's definitely added sweetness that I'd attribute to black currant. Very pleasant thing, enjoyed it quite a lot on a hot day.

JUSBOX PERFUMES • GOOD MORNING - Collezione Classical - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2022 -

Morning has broken like the first morning! Praise for the sweetest of your dreams, to the joy of an enthused awakening each morning.

.

Note su note, non poteva mancare nella collezione fragranze Jusbox Perfumes il tributo olfattivo alla musica classica.Questa nuova creazione Good Morning, è ispirata a Il Mattino, suggestiva composizione che Edvard Grieg, musicista e autore norvegese, scrisse nel 1876 quale parte (Suite No 1, Op.46) delle musiche di scena dell’opera di Ibsen, Peer Gynt.

Melodie per i sensi e aromi sul pentagramma in questa armonia olfattiva che Dominique Ropion ha composto ricalcando le struggenti atmosfere musicali de Il Mattino.

Di tanta grazia in leggerezza e profondità, lucentezza e penombra, sono intrise le note contrapposte di flauto e oboe, scorrono ed evocano una rinnovata freschezza mattutina, di rugiada e brezza marina, incanto all’alba, stupore di luce e dolcezza di onde. Poi quei fiori di magnolia che si aprono come affamati di sole, le foglie di violetta nella loro aromatica gentilezza, verde e poudré, divina e retrò, sembrano raccontare di movimenti lenti e pacifici.Come un bel sogno che abbandona i pensieri e conforta la realtà, a cashmeran e muschi il compito di traghettarci nel nuovo giorno, si resta sospesi, piacevolmente sereni, a fluttuare in un soffice lucente benessere.

Creata da Dominique Ropion.

Splendido il flacone design in tonalità turchese che, a contrasto con il liquido paglierino, diffonde riflessi smeraldo.

Eau de Parfum 78 ml. In selezionate profumerie e nella boutique Jusbox via della Spiga 1 Milano.

Golden Serenade (extrait de parfum) Jusbox Nose: Julien Rasquinet

Woody amber

Chattanooga Choo Choo! Back in time to 1942: over one million gramophones play the B-side of a record which will become the soundtrack of dreams and hopes. The Glenn Miller Orchestra’s new swing interprets the euphoria and ardor of a soldier who is returning to his love on a train back from the front; this soaring melody, the warmth of the arrangement and a syncopated rhythm recall the trepidation for a long-awaited date.This recording becomes an outstanding success that will lead to the birth of a new award recognising huge popularity; the dream for all recording artists: the Gold Record.

A sweet, suspended dream, interrupted only by the sounds of a train which is finally bringing us back home to our true love. Desire melts with the warmth of swing, giving life to the most romantic jazz serenade: Chattanooga Choo Choo.For Golden Serenade, Master Perfumer Julien Rasquinet composed an intense and precious melody, paying homage to this love song. A perfect blend of spicy notes of saffron and clove bud, played with intense hints of incense, are surrounded by a warm, enveloping atmosphere conferred by patchouli heart LMR. Animalic nuances of Oud oil LMR and the balsamic heat of opoponax, amplified by amber xtreme,  meets the sweetness of vanilla. An extrait de parfum as powerful as the permanent mark left by a love dream.

Top notes: Saffron, Clove Heart notes: Incense, Patchouli heart Base notes: Oud, Vanilla, Opoponax, Amber
